Light, intuitive, and nimble - the Belle 80 summed up in three words. As our narrowest women’s model, it’s incredibly quick edge to edge, and our nanoMAG Damping System provides great edge grip and minimizes chatter on ice and hardpack. A responsive feel is afforded by the moderate flex, which is tailored to women and makes for a ski that isn't overly demanding or unforgiving. The Belle 80 is purpose-built for those who love to cruise the frontside.

Common Questions
What length should I get?
The Belle 80 has an early-rise tip and a moderate flex. If you are between lengths, size up for stability at speed or size down for quicker turns. Check out our size chart for more info.
What bindings should I get?
You can use any binding on the Belle 80 as long as the brake width is at least 80 mm wide. We run Marker Squire bindings on our demo skis. Visit your local ski shop for bindings and mounting.
What can I customize?

What are Camber Pockets?
Camber Pockets are additional small sections of camber (about 4" long and 0.030" tall) molded into the overall camber of the ski in front of and behind your midsole position. They increase contact pressure to improve grip on hardpack and ice.
Are they tuned and waxed?
Skis come tuned with a 1° base edge bevel and a 2° side edge bevel and a slight tip/tail detune. The skis are waxed with a universal temperature wax to get you going.
Build Notes
Ride Notes: Super easy to turn, quick shifting from edge to edge, perfect for cruising a blue groomer.
Design Needs: Grip on hardpack/ice - smooth yet forgiving flex - quick edge-to-edge - easy to ski on but stable when driven.
Purpose: Build a women's carving/all mountain ski that can be used by new intermediate up to advanced skiers. Make it easy to cruise on, but also break through the crud.

Premium Materials
Core
Laminated ash/poplar hardwood: Long grain premium white ash and tulip poplar are hand selected and cut into full-length strips. Strips are individually flex indexed and laminated together symmetrically. Each laminated core is CNC milled to a precise thickness profile developed for each model and length.
nanoMAG® Damping System
nanoMAG® magnesium sheets are inlaid into the wood cores. The unique characteristic of this material is its ability to dissipate mechanical energy into heat, with increased capacity as the material is moved faster.
Composites
Unidirectional carbon fiber strips below the core, triaxial fiberglass above and below the core, fiberglass binding mat underfoot. Rubber bonding strips placed along edges, sidewalls, and ends for rock solid bonding.
Bio-Based Epoxy
Entropy Super Sap® epoxy contains 28% bio-based content and is specifically designed for skis. It's formulated for high-strength and impact resistance, which creates a durable, tough, and lightweight composite.
Sidewall
Full-height UHMW - the same raw material as your base, bombproof and double chamfered for reduced swingweight. A rounded mini-cap top edge rolls over the sidewall to protect your topsheets.
Topsheet
Clearview gloss nylon with sublimated graphics and transparent windows to the wood core.
Base + Edge
1.4 mm CNC Knife Cut 4001 Race Grade Durasurf sintered UHMW. 2.2 mm over-sized and heat-treated edges take a beating.
